The New Duchess
Chapter 70: Surrender


“ it's all because of me


pregnant with Duke” child continued Grace who increasingly make Hardwin back


dumbfounded.


“ are you crazy? Ai is already


help you so far?!” Hardwin boarded apitam, how could he meet with


this slick woman.


“no, I will


doing everything I told you” Grace stayed in a flat tone as she said so. She didn't


let out any emotion. This made Hardwin overwhelmed in understanding


meaning of Grace. Hardwin took a deep breath, he started


think everything over carefully.


“ why you said


all your plans to me?” Hardwin began to be able to set his sanity.


“ here's the son


crown want” Grace is still flat, she is not affected by yelling


Hardwin.


“ you will obey?”


the man could not understand the thought of this woman.


“ yes, I will


according to him” replied Grace sure. He was so serious about answering Hardwin's question.


“ how about Ai?”


that's what got the guy thinking.


“ as a


the Duchess will not be prosecuted before evidence or witnesses of the case


kapurn” however Grace was once Duke's assistant for a long time, he said,


legal issues and the ins and outs of Grace clearly understand it. That was


work a few months ago.


“ then?”  Hardwin continued to digest Grace's speech.


“ Duke's absence


will make this case only delayed some time, before other witnesses


be found. And it will be your choice” Grace makes the man in front of her


the more you don't understand why it's the choice.


“ what exactly


want you to plan?” Hardwin couldn't guess he had to


ensure everything.


“ you must know what


someone will be charged but not yet sentenced. Wherever


the Duchess's goal was clearly the direction” Grace seemed to pull him to come to work


similarly, Hardwin is now hit by a dilemma. They already know where they're headed


this talk.


“ from what I know you


definitely don't want to lose Ai, do you?” oh, Grace said this time


absolutely right.


“ I've said


everyone, you take it easy I didn't mean to interrupt the Duchess, all this


because of this baby. I don't want to sacrifice it” Grace in the distance, here


her biggest fear was that she loved her baby so much


large.


“ Sea threaten you?”


Hardwin asked again.


“ the man will


do whatever he wants, otherwise I he'll have to tell somebody


other” yes, Grace is right, at least she can say her plan, if it is


someone else. Ai's safety will be far more threatened.


“ is better you


stop the Duchess later, not me. After this baby was born, I promised


will atone for all my sins at the Duke” residence the warm melt is not felt


swirling down from the corner of Grace's eye, just the baby. All just for


saving his innocent baby.


Hardwin was silent


looking at Grace who now looks so fragile. She's just alone, fetus


it was the only one he had, no wonder he was desperately searching


how to make the baby safe. The man is beginning to understand and understand


the situation Grace was facing.


“ you better keep


myself well, let me take care of the rest” Hardwin finally moved him


I will think about everything carefully.


“ thanks and sorry”


Grace could say nothing but that sentence.


“I understand” Hardwin


immediately stepping away from the residence, the man would arrange everything. Him


mustn't let Ai go too far, she must protect the woman


releasing Ai.


In another city,


Aric and his Guard had already gone down and started monitoring. Seen from the rails


camp's situation is still very chaotic. Some even look flat, though,


and it's clear where the soldiers went. Must be a diversion troupe


managed to mess up Aric's trail.


“ noble, we can


start moving towards border” said the Guards and nod by Aric.


His subordinates took the soldiers away from the border, and this was clearly a cause for concern


them.


Aric can only get through


forests as a path of travel, will be very risky if they are seen. Him


it's been working out a plan thoroughly and quite successfully to date,


don't let this plan get fucked up.


“ what did you say?” with


sea asked the city leader where Aric was being held


be revived.


“ we are


chasing him, based on his footsteps, it looks like the prince departed from


border and back to kota” the leader gave the news he thought


will appease the crown prince.


“no, you're wrong. Immediate


tightening the path to the border” Sea is not easy to trick. The leader is like


confused by the decision made by Sea.


“ b, good noble”


it is useless if he asks, it is better to just obey the words of the Crown Prince


if you want to survive.


The city troops are back in


the rearrangement, the fragmented one is now all centered on guarding the pathway to the


borderline. Aric's troops are still stationed at their camp and are not allowed out


and independent activities, more precisely they are city prisoners.


It's getting night, though,


the journey of Aric and his bodyguards is getting closer to the border.


“short of your honor,


looks like war has broken” the bodyguard was faint-suffered to hear the sound of cannons.


“ no, no no, no,


you must be wrong” Aric who didn't


hearing only wished the guards' words were wrong.


“ look out for your majesty!”


sea's entourage of soldiers had almost seen their march. Aric and


The guards are now hiding deeper into the forest. Both men were direct


down horse.


“ why so much


his guard?” the bodyguard kissed something was wrong.


“ sister has read


our plan” replied Aric flatly, since that night his perception to Sea


has changed. He knows who his brother really is, how his ambition and temperament are.


All his judgment has changed.


“ then how that


noble?” their plan stops right here, they have to figure out how


others.


“ I pretended


turn yourself in, you see their posts here are very close to the border,


tell the others to catch up with me soon, we'll know how big brother will be


handle us” Aric has no other choice, he's the one they're looking for. Only


there's this chance, Aric is trying to test his luck.


“ how if.”


“ won't, I still


the prince here, they wouldn't dare unless big brother did surpass


his limit” Aric still will not back down, however he must stay on


the aim.


“ I will try


as soon as possible following you “ the bodyguard looked in admiration at his master.


“ you go” Aric


exhaling a rough breath, he was actually also fighting life. However


if you don't try to know the results, it's also impossible for him


back off after everything was this close.


Both are goodbye


they split up by carrying out their own missions. Aric is alone, he is


waiting for the right time to be found is not like being


capitulated.
